BARBED WIRE FENCES.

Calvary to Aid in Enforcing tho
Presidents Proclamation.
The General Land Office has found it neces-
sary to resort to extreme measures and has
demanded of the War Department troop of
cavalry to move upon the barbed wire fence
of the boundless West. Advices received in
Washington from Wyoming indicate that the
great cattle companies are not needing the
Presidents March proclamation against il
legal fencing of the public domain, and abso-
hltely refuse to remove the entanging en-
vironment of their herds They have inclosed
with each township of land which they have
purchased large numbers of unoccupied al
ternate sections Of public land They claim
the right to fence their own lands, and say
they are not to blame. because the public
lands are included in the inclosure The agents
of the General Land Office have repeatedly
demanded that the distractions should be re-
moved in compliance With tie proclamation
but to no purpose. and the Secretary Of the
Interior requested of the President the aid of
the military land forces of the United States
to protect persons to be sent out to cut the
wire. The President has directed the Secre-
tary of War to assign one troop of cavalry to
take station at Cheyenne and act under the
direction of the officials of the Land Office To-
Gated at that place. 1t is inferred from what
was said last spring by the representatives OF
the heaviest companies in Wyoming that they
will fight sturdily for the right to keep their
fences. and an encounter between the COW
boys of the companies and the cavalry force:
is not improbable if this policy is pursued.
